The house a 71-year-old renter called home for 25 years is still empty nearly a year after the landlord told her she had to go because they were moving in.

After Louise Wilksch was told her landlord would be occupying the property, she launched a campaign to find a new home that quickly spread through the local Brunswick East community in Melbourne.
